Surah Al-Kahf
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْزَلَ عَلٰى عَبْدِهِ الْكِتٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ عِوَجًا ۜ١
Al-ḥamdu lillāhil-lażī anzala ‘alā ‘abdihil-kitāba wa lam yaj‘al lahū ‘iwajā(n).
[1]
[All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance.
قَيِّمًا لِّيُنْذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيْدًا مِّنْ لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا حَسَنًاۙ٢
Qayyimal liyunżira ba'san syadīdam mil ladunhu wa yubasysyiral-mu'minīnal-lażīna ya‘malūnaṣ-ṣāliḥāti anna lahum ajran ḥasanā(n).
[2]
[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward
مّٰكِثِيْنَ فِيْهِ اَبَدًاۙ٣
Mākiṡīna fīhi abadā(n).
[3]
In which they will remain forever
وَّيُنْذِرَ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ وَلَدًاۖ٤
Wa yunżiral-lażīna qāluttakhażallāhu waladā(n).
[4]
And to warn those who say, "Allah has taken a son."
مَّا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَّلَا لِاٰبَاۤىِٕهِمْۗ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْۗ اِنْ يَّقُوْلُوْنَ اِلَّا كَذِبًا٥
Mā lahum bihī min ‘ilmiw wa lā li'ābā'ihim, kaburat kalimatan takhruju min afwāhihim, iy yaqūlūna illā każibā(n).
[5]
They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.
فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ اِنْ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِيْثِ اَسَفًا٦
Fa la‘allaka bākhi‘un nafsaka ‘alā āṡārihim illam yu'minū bihāżal-ḥadīṡi asafā(n).
[6]
Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.
اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْاَرْضِ زِيْنَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ اَيُّهُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا٧
Innā ja‘alnā mā ‘alal-arḍi zīnatal lahā linabluwahum ayyuhum aḥsanu ‘amalā(n).
[7]
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
وَاِنَّا لَجٰعِلُوْنَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيْدًا جُرُزًاۗ٨
Wa innā lajā‘ilūna mā ‘alaihā ṣa‘īdan juruzā(n).
[8]
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
اَمْ حَسِبْتَ اَنَّ اَصْحٰبَ الْكَهْفِ وَالرَّقِيْمِ كَانُوْا مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَا عَجَبًا٩
Am ḥasibta anna aṣḥābal-kahfi war-raqīmi kānū min āyātinā ‘ajabā(n).
[9]
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?
اِذْ اَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ اِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَّهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ اَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا١٠
Iż awal-fityatu ilal-kahfi fa qālū rabbanā ātinā mil ladunka raḥmataw wa hayyi' lanā min amrinā rasyadā(n).
[10]
[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."
فَضَرَبْنَا عَلٰٓى اٰذَانِهِمْ فِى الْكَهْفِ سِنِيْنَ عَدَدًاۙ١١
Faḍarabnā ‘alā āżānihim fil-kahfi sinīna ‘adadā(n).
[11]
So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ اَيُّ الْحِزْبَيْنِ اَحْصٰى لِمَا لَبِثُوْٓا اَمَدًا ࣖ١٢
Ṡumma ba‘aṡnāhum lina‘lama ayyul-ḥizbaini aḥṣā limā labiṡū amadā(n).
[12]
Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time.
نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَاَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّۗ اِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ اٰمَنُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنٰهُمْ هُدًىۖ١٣
Naḥnu naquṣṣu ‘alaika naba'ahum bil-ḥaqq(i), innahum fityatun āmanū birabbihim wa zidnāhum hudā(n).
[13]
It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
وَّرَبَطْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِذْ قَامُوْا فَقَالُوْا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَنْ نَّدْعُوَا۟ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اِلٰهًا لَّقَدْ قُلْنَآ اِذًا شَطَطًا١٤
Wa rabaṭnā ‘alā qulūbihim iż qāmū fa qālū rabbunā rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi lan nad‘uwa min dūnihī ilāhal laqad qulnā iżan syaṭaṭā(n).
[14]
And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةًۗ لَوْلَا يَأْتُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍۢ بَيِّنٍۗ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۗ١٥
Hā'ulā'i qaumunattakhażū min dūnihī ālihah(tan), lau lā ya'tūna ‘alaihim bisulṭānim bayyin(in), faman aẓlamu mimmaniftarā ‘alallāhi każibā(n).
[15]
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"
وَاِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوْهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ فَأْوٗٓا اِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَمْرِكُمْ مِّرْفَقًا١٦
Wa iżi‘tazaltumūhum wa mā ya‘budūna illallāha fa'wū ilal-kahfi yansyur lakum rabbukum mir raḥmatihī wa yuhayyi' lakum min amrikum mirfaqā(n).
[16]
[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
۞ وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ اِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَّزٰوَرُ عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِيْنِ وَاِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِيْ فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُۗ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ ۗمَنْ يَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًا ࣖ١٧
Wa tarasy-syamsa iżā ṭala‘at tazāwaru ‘an kahfihim żātal-yamīni wa iżā garabat taqriḍuhum żātasy-syimāli wa hum fī fajwatim minh(u), żālika min āyātillāh(i), may yahdillāhu fa huwal-muhtadi wa may yuḍlil falan tajida lahū waliyyam mursyidā(n).
[17]
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [laying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ اَيْقَاظًا وَّهُمْ رُقُوْدٌ ۖوَّنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِيْنِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ۖوَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيْدِۗ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَّلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا١٨
Wa taḥsabuhum aiqāẓaw wa hum ruqūd(un), wa nuqallibuhum żātal-yamīni wa żātasy-syimāl(i), wa kalbuhum bāsiṭun żirā‘aihi bil-waṣīd(i), lawiṭṭala‘ta ‘alaihim lawallaita minhum firāraw wa lamuli'ta minhum ru‘bā(n).
[18]
And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
وَكَذٰلِكَ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِيَتَسَاۤءَلُوْا بَيْنَهُمْۗ قَالَ قَاۤىِٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْۗ قَالُوْا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍۗ قَالُوْا رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْۗ فَابْعَثُوْٓا اَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هٰذِهٖٓ اِلَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ اَيُّهَآ اَزْكٰى طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ اَحَدًا١٩
Wa każālika ba‘aṡnāhum liyatasā'alū bainahum, qāla qā'ilum minhum kam labiṡtum, qālū labiṡnā yauman au ba‘ḍa yaum(in), qālū rabbukum a‘lamu bimā labiṡtum, fab‘aṡū aḥadakum biwariqikum hāżihī ilal-madīnati falyanẓur ayyuhā azkā ṭa‘āman falya'tikum birizqim minhu walyatalaṭṭaf wa lā yusy‘iranna bikum aḥadā(n).
[19]
And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
اِنَّهُمْ اِنْ يَّظْهَرُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوْكُمْ اَوْ يُعِيْدُوْكُمْ فِيْ مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَنْ تُفْلِحُوْٓا اِذًا اَبَدًا٢٠
Innahum iy yaẓharū ‘alaikum yarjumūkum au yu‘īdūkum fī millatihim wa lan tufliḥū iżan abadā(n).
[20]
Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."
وَكَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهَاۚ اِذْ يَتَنَازَعُوْنَ بَيْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًاۗ رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْۗ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ غَلَبُوْا عَلٰٓى اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا٢١
Wa każālika a‘ṡarnā ‘alaihim liya‘lamū anna wa‘dallāhi ḥaqquw wa annas-sā‘ata lā raiba fīhā, iż yatanāza‘ūna bainahum amrahum fa qālubnū ‘alaihim bun-yānā(n), rabbuhum a‘lamu bihim, qālal-lażīna galabū ‘alā amrihim lanattakhiżanna ‘alaihim masjidā(n).
[21]
And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
سَيَقُوْلُوْنَ ثَلٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْۚ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًاۢ بِالْغَيْبِۚ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ سَبْعَةٌ وَّثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۗقُلْ رَّبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ ەۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيْهِمْ اِلَّا مِرَاۤءً ظَاهِرًا ۖوَّلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيْهِمْ مِّنْهُمْ اَحَدًا ࣖ٢٢
Sayaqūlūna ṡalāṡatur rābi‘uhum kalbuhum, wa yaqūlūna khamsatun sādisuhum kalbuhum rajmam bil-gaib(i), wa yaqūlūna sab‘atuw wa ṡāminuhum kalbuhum, qur rabbī a‘lamu bi‘iddatihim mā ya‘lamuhum illā qalīl(un), falā tumāri fīhim illā mirā'an ẓāhirā(n), wa lā tastafti fīhim minhum aḥadā(n).
[22]
They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."
وَلَا تَقُوْلَنَّ لِشَا۟يْءٍ اِنِّيْ فَاعِلٌ ذٰلِكَ غَدًاۙ٢٣
Wa lā taqūlanna lisyai'in innī fā‘ilun żālika gadā(n).
[23]
And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّشَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۖوَاذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ اِذَا نَسِيْتَ وَقُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّهْدِيَنِ رَبِّيْ لِاَقْرَبَ مِنْ هٰذَا رَشَدًا٢٤
Illā ay yasyā'allāh(u), ważkur rabbaka iżā nasīta wa qul ‘asā ay yahdiyani rabbī li'aqraba min hāżā rasyadā(n).
[24]
Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."
وَلَبِثُوْا فِيْ كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلٰثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِيْنَ وَازْدَادُوْا تِسْعًا٢٥
Wa labiṡū fī kahfihim ṡalāṡa mi'atin sinīna wazdādū tis‘ā(n).
[25]
And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.
قُلِ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوْا ۚ لَهٗ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اَبْصِرْ بِهٖ وَاَسْمِعْۗ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّۗ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِيْ حُكْمِهٖٓ اَحَدًا٢٦
Qulillāhu a‘lamu bimā labiṡū, lahū gaibus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), abṣir bihī wa asmi‘, mā lahum min dūnihī miw waliyy(in), wa lā yusyriku fī ḥukmihī aḥadā(n).
[26]
Say, "Allah is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."
وَاتْلُ مَآ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ رَبِّكَۗ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِهٖۗ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًا٢٧
Watlu mā ūḥiya ilaika min kitābi rabbik(a), lā mubaddila likalimātih(ī), wa lan tajida min dūnihī multaḥadā(n).
[27]
And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدٰوةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيْدُوْنَ وَجْهَهٗ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنٰكَ عَنْهُمْۚ تُرِيْدُ زِيْنَةَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ اَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهٗ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ وَكَانَ اَمْرُهٗ فُرُطًا٢٨
Waṣbir nafsaka ma‘al-lażīna yad‘ūna rabbahum bil-gadāti wal-‘asyiyyi yurīdūna wajhahū wa lā ta‘du ‘aināka ‘anhum, turīdu zīnatal-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wa lā tuṭi‘ man agfalnā qalbahū ‘an żikrinā wattaba‘a hawāhu wa kāna amruhū furuṭā(n).
[28]
And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْۗ فَمَنْ شَاۤءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَّمَنْ شَاۤءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْۚ اِنَّآ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ نَارًاۙ اَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَاۗ وَاِنْ يَّسْتَغِيْثُوْا يُغَاثُوْا بِمَاۤءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِى الْوُجُوْهَۗ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُۗ وَسَاۤءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا٢٩
Wa qulil-ḥaqqu mir rabbikum, faman syā'a falyu'miw wa man syā'a falyakfur, innā a‘tadnā liẓ-ẓālimīna nārā(n), aḥāṭa bihim surādiquhā, wa iy yastagīṡū yugāṡū bimā'in kal-muhli yasywil-wujūh(a), bi'sasy-syarāb(u), wa sā'at murtafaqā(n).
[29]
And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اِنَّا لَا نُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ مَنْ اَحْسَنَ عَمَلًاۚ٣٠
Innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti innā lā nuḍī‘u ajra man aḥsana ‘amalā(n).
[30]
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.
اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيْهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّيَلْبَسُوْنَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَّاِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِـِٕيْنَ فِيْهَا عَلَى الْاَرَاۤىِٕكِۗ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُۗ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ࣖ٣١
Ulā'ika lahum jannātu ‘adnin tajrī min taḥtihimul-anhāru yuḥallauna fīhā min asāwira min żahabiw wa yalbasūna ṡiyāban khuḍram min sundusiw wa istabraqim muttaki'īna fīhā ‘alal-arā'ik(i), ni‘maṡ-ṡawāb(u), wa ḥasunat murtafaqā(n).
[31]
Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place.
۞ وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِاَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّحَفَفْنٰهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَّجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًاۗ٣٢
Waḍrib lahum maṡalar rajulaini ja‘alnā li'aḥadihimā jannataini min a‘nābiw wa ḥafafnāhumā binakhliw wa ja‘alnā bainahumā zar‘ā(n).
[32]
And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops.
كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ اٰتَتْ اُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِّنْهُ شَيْـًٔاۙ وَّفَجَّرْنَا خِلٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًاۙ٣٣
Kiltal-jannataini ātat ukulahā wa lam taẓlim minhu syai'ā(n), wa fajjarnā khilālahumā naharā(n).
[33]
Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river.
وَّكَانَ لَهٗ ثَمَرٌۚ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهٖ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهٗٓ اَنَا۠ اَكْثَرُ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّاَعَزُّ نَفَرًا٣٤
Wa kāna lahū ṡamar(un), fa qāla liṣāḥibihī wa huwa yuḥāwiruhū ana akṡaru minka mālaw wa a‘azzu nafarā(n).
[34]
And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."
وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهٗ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖۚ قَالَ مَآ اَظُنُّ اَنْ تَبِيْدَ هٰذِهٖٓ اَبَدًاۙ٣٥
Wa dakhala jannatahū wa huwa ẓālimul linafsih(ī), qāla mā aẓunnu an tabīda hāżihī abadā(n).
[35]
And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever.
وَّمَآ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَاۤىِٕمَةً وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّدِدْتُّ اِلٰى رَبِّيْ لَاَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنْقَلَبًا٣٦
Wa mā aẓunnus-sā‘ata qā'imataw wa la'ir rudittu ilā rabbī la'ajidanna khairam minhā munqalabā(n).
[36]
And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."
قَالَ لَهٗ صَاحِبُهٗ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهٗٓ اَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِيْ خَلَقَكَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوّٰىكَ رَجُلًاۗ٣٧
Qāla lahū ṣāḥibuhū wa huwa yuḥāwiruhū akafarta bil-lażī khalaqaka min turābin ṡumma min nuṭfatin ṡumma sawwāka rajulā(n).
[37]
His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you [as] a man?
لٰكِنَّا۠ هُوَ اللّٰهُ رَبِّيْ وَلَآ اُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّيْٓ اَحَدًا٣٨
Lākinna huwallāhu rabbī wa lā usyriku birabbī aḥadā(n).
[38]
But as for me, He is Allah, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
وَلَوْلَآ اِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۙ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ۚاِنْ تَرَنِ اَنَا۠ اَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًاۚ٣٩
Wa lau lā iż dakhalta jannataka qulta mā syā'allāh(u), lā quwwata illā billāh(i), in tarani ana aqalla minka mālaw wa waladā(n).
[39]
And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allah willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah '? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,
فَعَسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَنْ يُّؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِّنْ جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيْدًا زَلَقًاۙ٤٠
Fa ‘asā rabbī ay yu'tiyani khairam min jannatika wa yursila ‘alaihā ḥusbānam minas-samā'i fa tuṣbiḥa ṣa‘īdan zalaqā(n).
[40]
It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a calamity from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,
اَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَاۤؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيْعَ لَهٗ طَلَبًا٤١
Au yuṣbiḥa mā'uhā gauran falan tastaṭī‘a lahū ṭalabā(n).
[41]
Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it."
وَاُحِيْطَ بِثَمَرِهٖ فَاَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلٰى مَآ اَنْفَقَ فِيْهَا وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوْشِهَا وَيَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ لَمْ اُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّيْٓ اَحَدًا٤٢

[42]
And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."
وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَّهٗ فِئَةٌ يَّنْصُرُوْنَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنْتَصِرًاۗ٤٣
Wa lam takul lahū fi'atuy yanṣurūnahū min dūnillāhi wa mā kāna muntaṣirā(n).
[43]
And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor could he defend himself.
هُنَالِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ لِلّٰهِ الْحَقِّۗ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا ࣖ٤٤
Hunālikal-walāyatu lillāhil-ḥaqq(i), huwa khairun ṡawābaw wa khairun ‘uqbā(n).
[44]
There the authority is [completely] for Allah, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاۤءٍ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهٖ نَبَاتُ الْاَرْضِ فَاَصْبَحَ هَشِيْمًا تَذْرُوْهُ الرِّيٰحُ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا٤٥

[45]
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
اَلْمَالُ وَالْبَنُوْنَ زِيْنَةُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۚ وَالْبٰقِيٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ اَمَلًا٤٦
Al-mālu wal-banūna zīnatul-ḥayātid-dun-yā, wal-bāqiyātuṣ-ṣāliḥātu khairun ‘inda rabbika ṡawābaw wa khairun amalā(n).
[46]
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope.
وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى الْاَرْضَ بَارِزَةًۙ وَّحَشَرْنٰهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ اَحَدًاۚ٤٧
Wa yauma nusayyirul-jibāla wa taral-arḍa bārizah(tan), wa ḥasyarnāhum falam nugādir minhum aḥadā(n).
[47]
And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth prominent, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.
وَعُرِضُوْا عَلٰى رَبِّكَ صَفًّاۗ لَقَدْ جِئْتُمُوْنَا كَمَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ ۖبَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ اَلَّنْ نَّجْعَلَ لَكُمْ مَّوْعِدًا٤٨
Wa ‘uriḍū ‘alā rabbika ṣaffā(n), laqad ji'tumūnā kamā khalaqnākum awwala marratim bal za‘amtum allan naj‘ala lakum mau‘idā(n).
[48]
And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
وَوُضِعَ الْكِتٰبُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ مُشْفِقِيْنَ مِمَّا فِيْهِ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ يٰوَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هٰذَا الْكِتٰبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيْرَةً وَّلَا كَبِيْرَةً اِلَّآ اَحْصٰىهَاۚ وَوَجَدُوْا مَا عَمِلُوْا حَاضِرًاۗ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ اَحَدًا ࣖ٤٩

[49]
And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهٖۗ اَفَتَتَّخِذُوْنَهٗ وَذُرِّيَّتَهٗٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ مِنْ دُوْنِيْ وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۗ بِئْسَ لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ بَدَلًا٥٠
Wa iż qulnā lil-malā'ikatisjudū li'ādama fa sajadū illā iblīs(a), kāna minal-jinni fa fasaqa ‘an amri rabbih(ī), afa tattakhiżūnahū wa żurriyyatahū auliyā'a min dūnī wa hum lakum ‘aduww(un), bi'sa liẓ-ẓālimīna badalā(n).
[50]
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
۞ مَآ اَشْهَدْتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ اَنْفُسِهِمْۖ وَمَا كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّيْنَ عَضُدًا٥١
Mā asyhattuhum khalqas-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa lā khalqa anfusihim, wa mā kuntu muttakhiżal-muḍillīna ‘aḍudā(n).
[51]
I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.
وَيَوْمَ يَقُوْلُ نَادُوْا شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَّوْبِقًا٥٢
Wa yauma yaqūlu nādū syurakā'iyal-lażīna za‘amtum fa da‘auhum falam yastajībū lahum wa ja‘alnā bainahum maubiqā(n).
[52]
And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call 'My partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.
وَرَاَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوْٓا اَنَّهُمْ مُّوَاقِعُوْهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوْا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا ࣖ٥٣
Wa ra'al-mujrimūnan nāra fa ẓannū annahum muwāqi‘ūhā wa lam yajidū ‘anhā maṣrifā(n).
[53]
And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ اَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا٥٤
Wa laqad ṣarrafnā fī hāżal-qur'āni lin-nāsi min kulli maṡal(in), wa kānal-insānu akṡara syai'in jadalā(n).
[54]
And We have certainly diversified in this Qur'an for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنْ يُّؤْمِنُوْٓا اِذْ جَاۤءَهُمُ الْهُدٰى وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ اَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا٥٥
Wa mā mana‘an-nāsa ay yu'minū iż jā'ahumul-hudā wa yastagfirū rabbahum illā an ta'tiyahum sunnatul-awwalīna au ya'tiyahumul-‘ażābu qubulā(n).
[55]
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.
وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرِيْنَ وَمُنْذِرِيْنَۚ وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوْا بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَاتَّخَذُوْٓا اٰيٰتِيْ وَمَآ اُنْذِرُوْا هُزُوًا٥٦
Wa mā nursilul-mursalīna illā mubasysyirīna wa munżirīn(a), wa yujādilul-lażīna kafarū bil-bāṭili liyudḥiḍū bihil-ḥaqqa wattakhażū āyātī wa mā unżirū huzuwā(n).
[56]
And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهٖ فَاَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًاۗ وَاِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ اِلَى الْهُدٰى فَلَنْ يَّهْتَدُوْٓا اِذًا اَبَدًا٥٧
Wa man aẓlamu mimman żukkira bi'āyāti rabbihī fa a‘raḍa ‘anhā wa nasiya mā qaddamat yadāh(u), innā ja‘alnā ‘alā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqahūhu wa fī āżānihim waqrā(n), wa in tad‘uhum ilal-hudā falay yahtadū iżan abadā(n).
[57]
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُوْرُ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِۗ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَۗ بَلْ لَّهُمْ مَّوْعِدٌ لَّنْ يَّجِدُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مَوْىِٕلًا٥٨
Wa rabbukal-gafūru żur-raḥmah(ti), lau yu'ākhiżuhum bimā kasabū la‘ajjala lahumul-‘ażāb(a), bal lahum mau‘idul lay yajidū min dūnihī mau'ilā(n).
[58]
And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
وَتِلْكَ الْقُرٰٓى اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوْا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِمْ مَّوْعِدًا ࣖ٥٩
Wa tilkal-qurā ahlaknāhum lammā ẓalamū wa ja‘alnā limahlikihim mau‘idā(n).
[59]
And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِفَتٰىهُ لَآ اَبْرَحُ حَتّٰٓى اَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ اَوْ اَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا٦٠
Wa iż qāla mūsā lifatāhu lā abraḥu ḥattā abluga majma‘al-baḥraini au amḍiya ḥuqubā(n).
[60]
And [mention] when Moses said to his servant, "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَيْنِهِمَا نَسِيَا حُوْتَهُمَا فَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيْلَهٗ فِى الْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا٦١
Falammā balagā majma‘a bainihimā nasiyā ḥūtahumā fattakhaża sabīlahū fil-baḥri sarabā(n).
[61]
But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.
فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتٰىهُ اٰتِنَا غَدَاۤءَنَاۖ لَقَدْ لَقِيْنَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هٰذَا نَصَبًا٦٢
Falammā jāwazā qāla lifatāhu ātinā gadā'anā laqad laqīnā min safarinā hāżā naṣabā(n).
[62]
So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue."
قَالَ اَرَاَيْتَ اِذْ اَوَيْنَآ اِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَاِنِّيْ نَسِيْتُ الْحُوْتَۖ وَمَآ اَنْسٰىنِيْهُ اِلَّا الشَّيْطٰنُ اَنْ اَذْكُرَهٗۚ وَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيْلَهٗ فِى الْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا٦٣

[63]
He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly".
قَالَ ذٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِۖ فَارْتَدَّا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًاۙ٦٤
Qāla żālika mā kunnā nabg(i), fartaddā ‘alā āṡārihimā qaṣaṣā(n).
[64]
[Moses] said, "That is what we were seeking." So they returned, following their footprints.
فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَعَلَّمْنٰهُ مِنْ لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا٦٥
Fa wajadā ‘abdam min ‘ibādinā ātaināhu raḥmatam min ‘indinā wa ‘allamnāhu mil ladunnā ‘ilmā(n).
[65]
And they found a servant from among Our servants to whom we had given mercy from us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.
قَالَ لَهٗ مُوْسٰى هَلْ اَتَّبِعُكَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا٦٦
Qāla lahū mūsā hal attabi‘uka ‘alā an tu‘allimani mimmā ‘ullimta rusydā(n).
[66]
Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?"
قَالَ اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيْعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا٦٧
Qāla innaka lan tastaṭī‘a ma‘iya ṣabrā(n).
[67]
He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.
وَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلٰى مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهٖ خُبْرًا٦٨
Wa kaifa taṣbiru ‘alā mā lam tuḥiṭ bihī khubrā(n).
[68]
And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?"
قَالَ سَتَجِدُنِيْٓ اِنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ صَابِرًا وَّلَآ اَعْصِيْ لَكَ اَمْرًا٦٩
Qāla satajidunī in syā'allāhu ṣābiraw wa lā a‘ṣī laka amrā(n).
[69]
[Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allah wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order."
قَالَ فَاِنِ اتَّبَعْتَنِيْ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِيْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ حَتّٰٓى اُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا ࣖ٧٠
Qāla fa inittaba‘tanī falā tas'alnī ‘an syai'in ḥattā uḥdiṡa laka minhu żikrā(n).
[70]
He said, "Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention."
فَانْطَلَقَاۗ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا رَكِبَا فِى السَّفِيْنَةِ خَرَقَهَاۗ قَالَ اَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ اَهْلَهَاۚ لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا اِمْرًا٧١

[71]
So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, al-Khidh r tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."
قَالَ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيْعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا٧٢
Qāla alam aqul innaka lan tastaṭī‘a ma‘iya ṣabrā(n).
[72]
[Al-Khidh r] said, "Did I not say that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
قَالَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِيْ بِمَا نَسِيْتُ وَلَا تُرْهِقْنِيْ مِنْ اَمْرِيْ عُسْرًا٧٣
Qāla lā tu'ākhiżnī bimā nasītu wa lā turhiqnī min amrī ‘usrā(n).

[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty."
فَانْطَلَقَا ۗحَتّٰٓى اِذَا لَقِيَا غُلٰمًا فَقَتَلَهٗ ۙقَالَ اَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا زَكِيَّةً ۢبِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍۗ لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا نُّكْرًا ۔٧٤

[74]
So they set out, until when they met a boy, al-Khidh r killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."
۞ قَالَ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ لَّكَ اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْتَطِيْعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا٧٥
Qāla alam aqul laka innaka lan tastaṭī‘a ma‘iya ṣabrā(n).
[75]
[Al-Khidh r] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
قَالَ اِنْ سَاَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍۢ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصٰحِبْنِيْۚ قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَّدُنِّيْ عُذْرًا٧٦
Qāla in sa'altuka ‘an syai'im ba‘dahā falā tuṣāḥibnī, qad balagta mil ladunnī ‘użrā(n).

[Moses] said, "If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse."
فَانْطَلَقَا ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَآ اَتَيَآ اَهْلَ قَرْيَةِ ِۨاسْتَطْعَمَآ اَهْلَهَا فَاَبَوْا اَنْ يُّضَيِّفُوْهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيْهَا جِدَارًا يُّرِيْدُ اَنْ يَّنْقَضَّ فَاَقَامَهٗ ۗقَالَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ اَجْرًا٧٧

[77]
So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so al-Khidh r restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."
قَالَ هٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنِكَۚ سَاُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأْوِيْلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا٧٨
Qāla hāżā firāqu bainī wa bainik(a), sa'unabbi'uka bita'wīli mā lam tastaṭī‘ ‘alaihi ṣabrā(n).
[78]
[Al-Khidh r] said, "This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.
اَمَّا السَّفِيْنَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسٰكِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ فِى الْبَحْرِ فَاَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَعِيْبَهَاۗ وَكَانَ وَرَاۤءَهُمْ مَّلِكٌ يَّأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِيْنَةٍ غَصْبًا٧٩
Ammas-safīnatu fa kānat limasākīna ya‘malūna fil-baḥri fa arattu an a‘ībahā, wa kāna warā'ahum malikuy ya'khużu kulla safīnatin gaṣbā(n).
[79]
As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.
وَاَمَّا الْغُلٰمُ فَكَانَ اَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِيْنَآ اَنْ يُّرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَّكُفْرًا ۚ٨٠
Wa ammal-gulāmu fa kāna abawāhu mu'minaini fa khasyīnā ay yurhiqahumā ṭugyānaw wa kufrā(n).
[80]
And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.
فَاَرَدْنَآ اَنْ يُّبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكٰوةً وَّاَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا٨١
Fa aradnā ay yubdilahumā rabbuhumā khairam minhu zakātaw wa aqraba ruḥmā(n).
[81]
So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.
وَاَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلٰمَيْنِ يَتِيْمَيْنِ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهٗ كَنْزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ اَبُوْهُمَا صَالِحًا ۚفَاَرَادَ رَبُّكَ اَنْ يَّبْلُغَآ اَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنْزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَۚ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهٗ عَنْ اَمْرِيْۗ ذٰلِكَ تَأْوِيْلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِعْ عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًاۗ ࣖ٨٢
Wa ammal-jidāru fa kāna ligulāmaini yatīmaini fil-madīnati wa kāna taḥtahū kanzul lahumā wa kāna abūhumā ṣāliḥā(n), fa arāda rabbuka ay yablugā asyuddahumā wa yastakhrijā kanzahumā raḥmatam mir rabbik(a), wa mā fa‘altuhū ‘an amrī, żālika ta'wīlu mā lam tasṭī‘ ‘alaihi ṣabrā(n).
[82]
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
وَيَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنْ ذِى الْقَرْنَيْنِۗ قُلْ سَاَتْلُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنْهُ ذِكْرًا ۗ٨٣
Wa yas'alūnaka ‘an żil qarnain(i), qul sa'atlū ‘alaikum minhu żikrā(n).
[83]
And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."
اِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهٗ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَبَبًا ۙ٨٤
Innā makkannā lahū fil-arḍi wa ātaināhu min kulli syai'in sababā(n).
[84]
Indeed We established him upon the earth, and We gave him to everything a way.
فَاَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا٨٥
Fa atba‘a sababā(n).
[85]
So he followed a way
حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِيْ عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَّوَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا قَوْمًا ەۗ قُلْنَا يٰذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ اِمَّآ اَنْ تُعَذِّبَ وَاِمَّآ اَنْ تَتَّخِذَ فِيْهِمْ حُسْنًا٨٦
Ḥattā iżā balaga magribasy-syamsi wajadahā tagrubu fī ‘ainin ḥami'atiw wa wajada ‘indahā qaumā(n), qulnā yā żal-qarnaini immā an tu‘ażżiba wa immā an tattakhiża fīhim ḥusnā(n).
[86]
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
قَالَ اَمَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهٗ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ فَيُعَذِّبُهٗ عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا٨٧
Qāla ammā man ẓalama fa saufa nu‘ażżibuhū ṡumma yuraddu ilā rabbihī fa yu‘ażżibuhū ‘ażāban nukrā(n).
[87]
He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment.
وَاَمَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهٗ جَزَاۤءً ۨالْحُسْنٰىۚ وَسَنَقُوْلُ لَهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا ۗ٨٨
Wa ammā man āmana wa ‘amila ṣāliḥan fa lahū jazā'anil-ḥusnā, wa sanaqūlu lahū min amrinā yusrā(n).
[88]
But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."
ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا٨٩
Ṡumma atba‘a sababā(n).
[89]
Then he followed a way
حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلٰى قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهَا سِتْرًا ۙ٩٠
Ḥattā iżā balaga maṭli‘asy-syamsi wajadahā taṭlu‘u ‘alā qaumil lam naj‘al lahum min dūnihā sitrā(n).
[90]
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
كَذٰلِكَۗ وَقَدْ اَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَيْهِ خُبْرًا٩١
Każālik(a), wa qad aḥaṭnā bimā ladaihi khubrā(n).
[91]
Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.
ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا٩٢
Ṡumma atba‘a sababā(n).
[92]
Then he followed a way
حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ السَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمَا قَوْمًاۙ لَّا يَكَادُوْنَ يَفْقَهُوْنَ قَوْلًا٩٣
Ḥattā iżā balaga bainas-saddaini wajada min dūnihimā qaumal lā yakādūna yafqahūna qaulā(n).
[93]
Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
قَالُوْا يٰذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ اِنَّ يَأْجُوْجَ وَمَأْجُوْجَ مُفْسِدُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلٰٓى اَنْ تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سَدًّا٩٤
Qālū yā żal-qarnaini inna ya'jūja wa ma'jūja mufsidūna fil-arḍi fahal naj‘alu laka kharjan ‘alā an taj‘alā bainanā wa bainahum saddā(n).
[94]
They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّيْ فِيْهِ رَبِّيْ خَيْرٌ فَاَعِيْنُوْنِيْ بِقُوَّةٍ اَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا ۙ٩٥
Qāla mā makkannī fīhi rabbī fa a‘īnūnī biquwwatin aj‘al bainakum wa bainahum radmā(n).
[95]
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength; I will make between you and them a dam.
اٰتُوْنِيْ زُبَرَ الْحَدِيْدِۗ حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا سَاوٰى بَيْنَ الصَّدَفَيْنِ قَالَ انْفُخُوْا ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَا جَعَلَهٗ نَارًاۙ قَالَ اٰتُوْنِيْٓ اُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْرًا ۗ٩٦
Ātūnī zubaral-ḥadīd(i), ḥattā iżā sāwā bainaṣ-ṣadafaini qālanfukhū, ḥattā iżā ja‘alahū nārā(n), qāla ātūnī ufrig ‘alaihi qiṭrā(n).
[96]
Bring me sheets of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
فَمَا اسْطَاعُوْٓا اَنْ يَّظْهَرُوْهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوْا لَهٗ نَقْبًا٩٧
Famasṭā‘ū ay yaẓharūhu wa mastaṭā‘ū lahū naqbā(n).
[97]
So Gog and Magog were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
قَالَ هٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْۚ فَاِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّيْ جَعَلَهٗ دَكَّاۤءَۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّيْ حَقًّا ۗ٩٨
Qāla hāżā raḥmatum mir rabbī, fa iżā jā'a wa‘du rabbī ja‘alahū dakkā'(a), wa kāna wa‘du rabbī ḥaqqā(n).
[98]
[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."
۞ وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّمُوْجُ فِيْ بَعْضٍ وَّنُفِخَ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَجَمَعْنٰهُمْ جَمْعًا ۙ٩٩
Wa taraknā ba‘ḍahum yauma'iżiy yamūju fī ba‘ḍiw wa nufikha fiṣ-ṣūri fa jama‘nāhum jam‘ā(n).
[99]
And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
وَّعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَرْضًا ۙ١٠٠
Wa ‘araḍnā jahannama yauma'iżil lil-kāfirīna ‘arḍā(n).
[100]
And We will present Hell that Day to the Disbelievers, on display -
ۨالَّذِيْنَ كَانَتْ اَعْيُنُهُمْ فِيْ غِطَاۤءٍ عَنْ ذِكْرِيْ وَكَانُوْا لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ سَمْعًا ࣖ١٠١
Allażīna kānat a‘yunuhum fī giṭā'in ‘an żikrī wa kānū lā yastaṭī‘ūna sam‘ā(n).
[101]
Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.
اَفَحَسِبَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اَنْ يَّتَّخِذُوْا عِبَادِيْ مِنْ دُوْنِيْٓ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ ۗاِنَّآ اَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ نُزُلًا١٠٢
Afaḥasibal-lażīna kafarū ay yattakhiżū ‘ibādī min dūnī auliyā'(a), innā a‘tadnā jahannama lil-kāfirīna nuzulā(n).
[102]
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْاَخْسَرِيْنَ اَعْمَالًا ۗ١٠٣
Qul hal nunabbi'ukum bil-akhsarīna a‘mālā(n).
[103]
Say, [O Muhammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?
اَلَّذِيْنَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُوْنَ صُنْعًا١٠٤
Al-lażīna ḍalla sa‘yuhum fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā wa hum yaḥsabūna annahum yuḥsinūna ṣun‘ā(n).
[104]
[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."
اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَاۤىِٕهٖ فَحَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِيْمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ وَزْنًا١٠٥
Ulā'ikal-lażīna kafarū bi'āyāti rabbihim wa liqā'ihī fa ḥabiṭat a‘māluhum falā nuqīma lahum yaumal-qiyāmati waznā(n).
[105]
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance.
ذٰلِكَ جَزَاۤؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوْا وَاتَّخَذُوْٓا اٰيٰتِيْ وَرُسُلِيْ هُزُوًا١٠٦
Żālika jazā'uhum jahannamu bimā kafarū wattakhażū āyātī wa rusulī huzuwā(n).
[106]
That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًا ۙ١٠٧
Innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti kānat lahum jannātul-firdausi nuzulā(n).
[107]
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,
خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا لَا يَبْغُوْنَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا١٠٨
Khālidīna fīhā lā yabgūna ‘anhā ḥiwalā(n).
[108]
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمٰتِ رَبِّيْ لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ اَنْ تَنْفَدَ كَلِمٰتُ رَبِّيْ وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهٖ مَدَدًا١٠٩
Qul lau kānal-baḥru midādal likalimāti rabbī lanafidal-baḥru qabla an tanfada kalimāṭu rabbī wa lau ji'nā bimiṡlihī madadā(n).
[109]
Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."
قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوْحٰٓى اِلَيَّ اَنَّمَآ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌۚ فَمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوْا لِقَاۤءَ رَبِّهٖ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهٖٓ اَحَدًا ࣖ١١٠
Qul innamā ana basyarum miṡlukum yūḥā ilayya annamā ilāhukum ilāhuw wāḥid(un), faman kāna yarjū liqā'a rabbihī falya‘mal ‘amalan ṣāliḥaw wa lā yusyrik bi‘ibādati rabbihī aḥadā(n).
[110]
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
